Can some please explain this to me? SOP Pay walls?

Anyway, people who don’t care about the APA or buying the Standard probably don’t want to improve their birds anyway.
The 60 dollars for the SOP is literally nothing compared to the cost to feed all of the birds.
People who complain people are breeding garbage are wrong to complain.
There have always been multipliers and there will always be multipliers. Not everyone wants to preserve and improve the breed.
This doesn’t really affect our fancy.

Anyone got a link to the Leghorn club?

There is a website for the American Leghorn Club, plus Facebook groups for the American Leghorn club and American Brown Leghorn club. But the website doesn’t list the SOP.

All I've seen in years is the brown leghorn Facebook thing and a dead leghorn club website.

Everything else- I definitely agree with though. Although I wasn't aware that the APA owns the copy right to the standards. That means kind of off to me. I mean they aren't the actual ones who usually do all the work to create and maintain these breeds.

And as far as it costing the club to send out literature, I could of swore that they were sending out electronically and that they actually charged individuals extra of they wanted it sent as snail mail

APA have a job opening .. I have no Idea what the pay is.
